Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0 Dressed, 3/32oz Nickel / Golden Glitter spinning lure #8809

Golden glitter textures the nickel blade of this specimen, offering a distinct visual profile that collectors of Mepps' European-influenced designs often seek. Coming in at 2" (5cm) in total length, this 3/32oz (3g) inline spinner showcases the precision engineering of the original French components. The blade is stamped with 'AGLIA LONG 0' and 'MADE IN FRANCE' on the reverse, while the assembly features the classic translucent red bead and brass-toned body spacers that have defined the brand's output for decades. This specific variant, identified by product code 8809, combines a textured gold-on-silver finish with a natural feathered dressing on the treble hook. Its feathered tail and hardware remain in remarkable shape, justifying a condition rating of 5/5 for this well-preserved piece. The light weight makes it an ideal choice for casting into shallow pockets where subtle presentation is paramount.
